training survey results

Last month I asked my central valley readers to take a few moments to complete a
survey so I could help decide when and where to offer training classes.
I'd like to thank each and every person who responded!

If you completed the survey I have given your Applied Office account a $25
credit which can be used towards any Applied Office service. And,
let's congratulate Kat Waters of Gary Waters
Management Consulting who has won a $50 gift card to the restaurant of her
choice. Way to go, Kat!

And the results of the survey? They've helped me to decide what classes
I'll be offering, how frequently, and how long. I've also seen that the
majority of you want hands-on classes and not just a demonstration.
My goal is to schedule some classes for the end of March, so stay tuned!
